Big Spoon Roasters creates handcrafted nut butters from scratch in Durham, North Carolina. The wildflower honeys and nuts are sourced from local farmers who share the same philosophy.

Founder Mark Overbay was inspired by a trip to Zimbabwe, where he discovered the taste of peanuts roasting over an open fire and ground by hand, between stones. On his return home he began roasting and grinding fresh nut butter in his own kitchen.

Cocoa Nib butter is a blend of Escazu’s 65% cacao dark chocolate from Costa Rica, cocoa nibs (crunchy pieces of roasted cocoa bean that have been separated from the husk) with fresh-roasted peanuts, local wildflower honey, and sea salt.

Mission Almond butter is made from a blend of fresh roasted and milled almonds, wildflower honey and sea salt.
